VVRITING=TABLET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,887, dated June 25, 1901.

Application filed November 5, 1900. Serial No. 35,512. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, ALFRED FRESGHL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vriting-Tablets; and I do hereby declare that the following is such a full, clear, and exact description of the invention as will en able others to make and use the same.

This invention relates to writing-tablets, and has for its object to provide a pad or tablet having a permanent line-guide and a permanent blotter-sheet.

The invention consists in the matters hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.

In the drawing accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof the figure is a view of a pad or tablet having a lineguide and blotter-sheet in accordance with my invention.

The pad or tablet A may be of the usual form and of any desired size, having preferably the front and back covers a and co, respectively.

In the preferred and simplest form of construction the line-guide is provided by ruling the cover a with heavy lines regularly spaced apart the distance usually employed in ruling pads and tablets. In practice all but the last sheet of the tablet are turned forward, so that only the last sheet rests upon the back a. This enables the lines upon the back cover to be clearly seen through the sheet, so they shall act as a guide for the writer, as shown in the drawing. If desired, the front sheet a may also be provided with lines, so that it may similarly be employed as a line guide, as shown in the drawing.

The blotter-sheet B is attached to the pad preferably by being flexibly connected to the side of the lower cover, so that it may conveniently be employed and permit the sheets to rest directly upon the ruled lines of the cover. IVhen the front cover is ruled, it is likewise provided with a permanently at tached blotter-sheet.

It is of course apparent that either or both covers may be provided with lines for the purpose of constituting lineguides and that the blotter-sheets may be correspondingly arranged; also, the top cover may be omitted and the lower one used as a line-guide and have an attached blotter-sheet. In any case the blotter-sheet may be attached by any desired means and in any way, as either to the side or lower edge of the cover.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a writing-tablet, a cover, the inner face of which is ruled as a line-guide, and a blottensheet permanently and flexibly connected to said cover along one side thereof.

2. In a writing-tablet, a cover composed of two sheets, the inner side of the lower coversheet being ruled as a line-guide, and the blotter-sheet permanently and flexibly connected along one edge of said lower coversheet.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
